[Scabies norvegica sive crustosa in a patient with AIDS] Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift für Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete. [Hautarzt] Journal article

We report the case of a 20-year-old homosexual man with HIV-1 infection presenting with AIDS. An erythemato-squamous, papulo-crustous, non-itching dermatosis of 4 months duration was finally diagnosed as Norwegian scabies in the immunosuppressed. For clinical and epidemiological reasons the high contagiosity of this rare entity requires an appropriate therapy without delay.
